Method: Net::IMAP#move

Defined in:

lib/net/imap.rb

#move(set, mailbox) ⇒ Object

Sends a MOVE command [RFC6851 §3.1] [IMAP4rev2 §6.4.8] to move the specified message(s) to the end of the specified destination mailbox. The set parameter is a number, an array of numbers, or a Range object. The number is a message sequence number.

Capabilities

The server’s capabilities must include either IMAP4rev2 or MOVE [RFC6851].

If UIDPLUS [RFC4315] is supported, the server’s response should include a COPYUID response code with CopyUIDData. This will report the UIDVALIDITY of the destination mailbox, the UID set of the source messages, and the assigned UID set of the moved messages.

When UIDONLY is enabled, the MOVE command is prohibited. Use #uid_move instead.
